DUBLIN, Va. - Thousands of Volvo employees in the New River Valley could be back on the job soon. This comes as Mack Trucks announced they reached a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers Union. The new four-year agreement would cover about 3,500 employees at six facilities, including the one in Maryland that makes engines and transmissions for the trucks at the Volvo plant in Dublin. As we reported earlier this week, 3,000 people were laid off from the Volvo plant in Dublin. When full production resumes in Maryland, the Dublin workers should be returning to work.

PULASKI COUNTY, Va. - The United Auto Workers strike that began earlier this month is now being felt in the New River Valley. One of those facilities is the Hagerstown, Maryland, powertrain plant, which also supplies engines and transmissions to the Volvo truck assembly plant in Dublin. Last Thursday, five days after the strike began, Volvo advised employees at the Dublin plant that due to the effects of the strike on Hagerstown, truck production would be stopped in Dublin on Monday. Without production, Volvo temporarily laid off about 3,000 employees at the plant. Volvo says negotiations with UAW resumed Monday.
